Beautiful cupcakes. Would be soooo good with a cup of tea...mmmm
Hi Happy Flour, just read your pistacho and red dates cupcakes.The red Chinese dates as most of us called them actually is not a date. They are called red jujubes and the black ones are black jujubes. No offense just thought of letting you know. Keep up with the generous sharing of information. You be blessed.
i have yet to try a baking with dates, must do it soon.
I saw your chiffon cakes...they look fabulous!May I know whether do you conduct baking lessons?
This is special, pistachio and red dates sounds good.
Hi Sonia and Anncoo,
If you love dates then you must try this, yummy ;P...
Hi MaryMoh,
Thanks for your beautiful word. This goes well with a cup of tea. :)
Hi Airenchan,
Thanks for your help. I ever come across 'jujubes' for Chinese dates but I can't remember it. So I use the word 'dates' which is more commonly used.
Hi Vivi,
Thanks for your compliment. :) However I don't conduct baking class.
